    Default New Ride Pads on the UL-1

    I had suffered yet another episode of the "Bermuda" triangle , it happens with the Tactic and usually the boat stops, but it kept going and my poor depth perception was telling me that the boat was turning , my foot! So the first time it went into the reeds , no damage, the second time straight to the shore .
    I did not run the boat for a long time because the ride pad surface was terrible, the boat wobbles a lot, since I had to fix the hole on the sponson , I decided to put a simple ride pad made out of G 10 FG plate.

    Already filled hole, I used "finishing epoxy" mixed with West Marine 404 High_Density Adhesive Filler. I did not use Bondo or West Marine "MarineRX" because these materials don't work well on edges, they are great if you have vast expanse of territory, on corners and edges I found out they sometimes they will chip away a little:DSCN5793_6128.jpg

    Too many boats, not enough time...
